Chapter 502: The Nature of Poverty (Part II)

"A person's value in society is related to the skills he or she has mastered. Skills are also related to supply, demand and scarcity in the labour market.

Improving your skills takes a lot of time, but it also costs a lot of money. The poor do not have that much time to wait patiently, because if they do not work one day, they may starve the next day, and they have no money to invest.

Therefore, many non-profit international organizations build schools and free education for poor people, and not many children from poor families come to study.

As a result, a very small number of well-funded non-profit international organizations not only provide free education to the children of poor families, but also provide a free lunch.

In this way, parents of children from poor families will feel that they can save money for their own meal. However, this effect is also very limited.

Some children from poor families are the ones who need to support their families. This is often the elder brother or sister who has to support the parents, the younger siblings. I was completely trapped by the poor family.

For most people, reading is not only boring and boring, but also does not have obvious results in a short period of time. It's not like work at all, even picking up trash, but giving people instant reward feedback. ”

Justice Kishimoto is not condescending, but realistic. In his previous life, he knew that some children in rural schools in China were reading and reading, and there would be fewer children every semester.

They were either taken out by their parents to work or stayed at home to do farm work. As for the teachers in the villages, what can they do?

Among them, there are good rural teachers, just like those who won the Mao Dun Literature Award in "Skywalker". However, these are very few existences.

The vast majority of rural teachers are those who have not graduated from university and obtained a job through the government's "three branches and one support".

They don't really want to do this kind of job, but they can't find any decent jobs in the city. So, in order to mix a bite to eat, I was forced to go.

After they went, their income was naturally not much better, and the level was not very good, so they had to get by with that little salary.

The word "responsible" is basically absent from them. They only have one request, as long as they don't talk in class, they can do anything.

In fact, most of the rural children do not want to go to school. They waited until they were 16 years old to get their ID cards before they could go out to work.

There are also children who have not yet waited for the age of sixteen, and are working in factories and other places at the age of twelve or three. The junior high school graduation rate and high school graduation rate are not at all as high as advertised.

Just like the words in "Skywalker", the false report? Lao Tzu has worked in this rural primary school for nine years, don't you know what the actual situation is?

If you don't do this, you won't be paid. Without this money, what can be done to install glass and repair school buildings for children who do not have glass?

Another cruel fact that Kishimoto is even more aware of is that even if these children go to school, whether they graduate from high school or college, they still can't escape the fate of the bottom.

The best job waiting for them is nothing more than to take over the whip of the village teachers in the past. This is not his imagination, but based on a research report on the Hope Project in Chongqing's Hechuan area.

The report clearly pointed out that there are almost no children in the group of children who study in Hope Primary School, let alone enter key universities. Even if you enter an ordinary university, there are very few.

Children who go to college and need student loans, or them. When they graduate, it is difficult to find employment, and they are still doing low-paying jobs.

Some of them do not mix well, so that the theory of the uselessness of reading is becoming more and more marketable at the bottom of society. People who haven't gone to college will say, "Look, it's not like you can't find a job when you go to college."

Even if I got a job, I didn't earn as much as I did. What's the use of studying? It's better to go out early to work.

On the other hand, the children who are studying in private schools, super schools, and aristocratic schools that have risen in the city. Not only do they enjoy the best quality teachers in the area, but they also enjoy the classrooms equipped with air conditioning, water dispensers, multimedia and other hardware facilities, as well as a beautiful campus environment with lake and mountain scenery.

Some private schools have a better campus environment than many regular undergraduate colleges. This tuition fee ranges from 30,000 to 3,500,000 a year.

As for excellent teachers, they are also people. As long as you are human, you can't do without money. People are the most realistic economic animals, and whoever has more money will work for whomever they want. They often graduate from prestigious schools, and the end result is that the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker.

Makoto Natsui was completely lost in thought. I am a bitter background at the bottom of society, and I know the pain of not having money the most.

"Why do those people who are engaged in finance, economics, and high-tech have such high incomes? It is because of their scarcity, and not everyone can do it. There are very few people who can do this, and the supply is less than the demand.

The reason why the income of your part-time job is so low is that as long as you can do the work you have done, there is no scarcity, and the supply exceeds demand.

When people are tired for a day, they often think in their heads that in addition to rest, they should eat a good meal. Once the poor have some money, they do not choose to save it for a rainy day, but generally choose to spend it.

At first, I mistakenly thought that they didn't have financial intelligence, but later, I realized that I was wrong. They just want to give a little freshness to an already boring and painful life. Doing so can also give them a certain amount of mental relief.

A life of poverty is only boring and boring. On this point, not only the financial investor Soros said, but also the literary master Carver said the same.

They have all experienced poverty. Both men came out with their own talent and perseverance. Not only was Carver born into a poor family, but he went bankrupt twice before he was forty.

He's done all sorts of low-level related jobs. He holds not only a bachelor's degree in literature, but also a master's degree in literature.

He once said that writing short stories and poems in the United States is tantamount to walking in the darkness of his life.

And the reason why he chose to engage in such a job and couldn't write a long story was because of the pressure from life, and he couldn't finish writing a long story with peace of mind.

The little characters in his pen write the truth of the middle and lower classes in the United States, it turns out that the ordinary people in the United States also work hard to earn money to support their families, and they just want to watch TV when they rest.

They also have dreams that will never come true, making do with every mediocre day. They are also silent on the outside and hysterical on the inside.

The lives of ordinary people are so boring, let alone the lives of the poor?" said Kishimoto without hurrying or slowing down.
